Where my heart is.......

Nate bought a new CD this past weekend that I just love. I never was much into rap but this CD has such an awesome message. The band is Lecrae. Tonight we were messing around on youtube and Nate came across this video. The song is called Send me I will go. If you ever wonder why we go on mission trips this song answers it. Please listen closely to the whole song. Even if you do not like rap please listen to the whole thing. The words to the song are listed below video:

i seen it with my own two,there's no way i can show youa perfectly poverty stricken people with no view.And i bet you can't believe this,they never heard of jesus.Heard young butler, lil wayne, and young jeezy.

No one's signing up to go on missions this summa.Rather sit at home and watch exibit pimp in a hummawhile a nine year old is shot down.No one's screaming 'stop now!'no bridge illustrations for criminals who on lock down.

People deep in africalooking for an answer bra'.In china man,they're dieing man,until they know who died for sins.So look what grace did.Not for us to stay hereinside our comfort zonesat home in mama's basement.

Get out on the grind y'all.Ain't no better time doll.I know y'all read the great commission.Let me just remind y'all:make disciples of the nations.Teach'm to obey the lord.Have to lead someone to christ before i face the lord.

hey! After, 1,000 years in the west and the churchesget'n bigger daily without understand'n worship. (say what?)Some regenerate but a lot ain't saved.You walk outside and be surprised cuz the block ain't changed.And the numbers they be get'n me.Something just ain't hit'n them.America ain't christian they practice'n the ritual.That's why we should be mission though.Hey, what you think i'm spit'n for?The united states is die'nand in the east is looking pitiful.

Some places if they catch youthey'll arrest you.They'll serve you,but they still need the word too.The gospel should be heard too.We claim we ain't ashamed,but we ain't hit the block up.Were in our christian bubble,while our brotha's get'n locked up.Lord i wanna stock up,pack a bag and walk upin a country where my faith may get me shot upanywhere i go, whether my city or far abroad,i just wanna show' christ the risen holy god.

i know they're die'n in the streets over in the middle east.Some kids sink in pieceothers hold'n up a piece.If the violence doesn't cease,then at least the deceasedmight know jesus as their savior as their bodies hit the streets.And i know this is a graphic view.And i pray that it's attack'n you.Track'n you to act and dowhat you see in the back illusion.Mathew twenty-four and fourteen.We should read it twicebefore we think that life is just a battlesee we free in christ!Look dawg! Life is more than church work and football!What if you were dead and seen that christians overlooked y'all!This is why we leave the couchand leave the comforts of our houseto show a die'n world a god they'll probably never read about.

The great commission says make disciples of all nations.Have we even made them in our own nation?Come on christians!Missions exist because worship doesn't.People don't worship the god who made them.We're ambassadors.Let's go!

I really like this song. I'm not a big fan of rap but I like some of it. This really speaks for mission and I think it might have to be our song for Haiti trips... or, hey, maybe for the Isaiah Project this year! :)
